    Public transport from Santiago to ??

    My daughter planned to join me on the Camino Frances “5 days out “ but her flight from Paris was delayed so she missed the bus from Santiago. The taxi cost 80 euros (two years ago ) but it was worth it to me. Buen Camino

    Weather in November on the Frances and the Portugues

    My favorite time is late September and early October. As henrythedog said in November the rain can be biblical. Your first Camino should be a pilgrimage, yes, but how many sins must you walk off cold, wet and muddy? Take a lease on life and walk earlier. Buen Camino

    Counting pilgrims on the Norte AGAIN

    At the end of October and the end of our Camino Aragonés my French son in law and I walked the Camino Frances backwards from Obános to Saint Jean Pied-de-Port. Several helpful local people pointed out that we were going the wrong way. Some oncoming people were baffled. Our daily pilgrim...

    Finisterre in rain

    It’s at the end of the earth and the beginning of the ocean. What did you expect besides rain? Just kidding. I have enjoyed sunny days there. The fishing museum is worth a fascinating couple of hours. Buen Camino

    New Camino Movie -The Way My Way - World Premiere

    Similar to Japan, there is a 30 day Camino in southern Korea. My daughter and her French (then boyfriend now husband) walked it in 2014 and were treated like royalty in each village— to the point of embarrassment. And delight! A significant percentage of South Koreans are Catholic. Buen Camino

    The Camino for LGBTQ

    Xose, I thought the Cluny hospitals were set up on the Caminos to welcome EVERYONE. I am an old straight guy and hope that is still the case And I enjoyed reading Hape Kerkeling’s book long ago. I welcome anyone who walks to share the albergue. Oh, wait, some snorers excluded. Buen Camino

    Are there Book swaps on the Camino. What book would you take.

    Laurie Lee’s two books about Spain are sure worth rereading but I would only carry them in the Kindle in my phone. Buen Camino

    Can I pack my small multi tool in carry on luggage (backpack)?

    Here’s a slightly different perspective. I have the smallest Gerber multi tool. I have carried it on my last two or three Caminos. I brought it on the plane in my checked bag. (I never check my backpack with essential gear. ). I also carry a small scissors to trim my unruly beard and a small...

    Difficult to read yellow route on Buen Camino app

    I added the mapy.cz app before my last Camino and found it very useful navigating through cities. Cities are where I loose the Camino. Buen Camino
